UMST Expands into East Africa: Hospital Management Agreement

UMST University has signed a landmark agreement to manage hospitals in Zanzibar and Pemba, Tanzania, advancing its continental mission to deliver healthcare and medical education excellence across East Africa.

Dr. Suzan, UMST Deputy Vice Chancellor, described the significance of the partnership: "These hospitals are not only centres of healing but also new hubs for clinical excellence — places where the next generation of UMST graduates will gain real-world experience in high-quality healthcare environments."

The agreement marks an important expansion of UMST's footprint beyond Rwanda and Tanzania, signalling the university's ambition to become a continent-wide leader in health sciences education and hospital management.
